Installing eMobility Solutions and EV Charging for a Smarter Future
6 Min. Read
In the past decade, the transportation sector has undergone a profound transformation as it shifts toward electrification—an evolution known as eMobility.
With nearly 300 million vehicles on U.S. roads, transportation is vital to the economy, enabling daily commutes for workers and ensuring goods reach businesses and consumers across the country.
Now, with electric transportation on the rise, eMobility solutions are redefining this crucial element of our economy by delivering cost savings and boosting efficiency and sustainability across consumer, commercial, industrial, and government sectors. Electric transportation isn’t just the future—it’s happening now.
In this article, we will explore how eMobility solutions are transforming our world and creating a smarter future, plus how fleets can stand to benefit from this shift in the technology of transportation.
What Are eMobility Solutions?
For many, eMobility is synonymous with electric vehicles (EVs), especially as EV sales continue to rise—now accounting for one in 14 vehicles sold in the U.S. However, eMobility solutions extend beyond EVs.
In reality, eMobility includes a broad spectrum of electrified transportation, including EVs, electric bikes, scooters, buses, and trains. Covering more than vehicles, eMobility also encompasses the infrastructure that fuels them, from charging networks to renewable energy integration.
Additionally, data-driven fleet management, smart road technologies, and utility-led energy management solutions that deliver reliable EV charging, connected supply chains, smart roads, and much more are also key components of the eMobility landscape.
On a small scale, eMobility could be a local business electrifying its fleet, investing in solar panels, and integrating battery storage to optimize its fleet EV charging.
On a larger scale, eMobility is the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) investing $40 billion in deploying over 100,000 EVs and developing an expansive charging infrastructure to match the scope of this transition.
Building a Nationwide EV Charging Infrastructure
Just as gas stations became widespread across the U.S. a century ago when gas-powered vehicles began to gain in popularity, eMobility is now driving the rapid expansion of EV charging infrastructure throughout the country.
Unlike traditional gas stations, however, EV charging locations are strategically placed in urban centers, along major transit routes—such as along the Alternative Fuels Corridors—to support heavily-trafficked roads, and in key commercial areas.
Since EV charging can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours depending on the charging method and vehicle, this infrastructure creates new revenue opportunities for the businesses that offer it, attracting more customers and boosting foot traffic for nearby small businesses. It is also helping to strengthen the link between transportation, communities, and charging hubs.
To better understand eMobility, it’s important to understand the different EV charging options available.
Level 1 EV Charging
Utilizing a standard 120V outlet, Level 1 is the slowest charging option, adding just 2-5 miles of range per hour. Best suited for charging plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) or occasional top-offs for EVs, it requires no additional infrastructure but is limited in efficiency as a result.
Level 2 EV Charging
As the most common method of charging, Level 2 EV chargers can provide 12 to 80 miles of range per hour—significantly more than Level 1 charging. In fact, 77% of EV owners report using their own Level 2 charger at home. With over 59,000 public charging locations already available and these chargers installed in many homes across the nation, Level 2 charging supports the daily charging needs of most drivers.
DC Fast Charging (DCFC)
While Level 2 charging meets the day-to-day needs of most EV owners, DC Fast charging is essential to the electrification of heavy freight and public transit. Operating at up to 1,000V with industrial-grade electrical infrastructure, this high-powered charging method is capable of recharging an EV battery in as little as an hour. At this time, DC Fast charging is available at more than 11,000 public locations across the country and is rapidly expanding.
eMobility Solutions for Fleets
Fleets play a critical role in the economy, from service providers to last-mile delivery vans and heavy freight transporters that moved over 12 million tons of cargo by truck in 2023.
For these fleets, electrification is revolutionizing their fleet operations by significantly reducing fuel and maintenance costs, while also reducing emissions and directly supporting their ESG goals.
Beyond cost savings and sustainability goals, data also shows electric fleets have higher driver satisfaction, reinforcing the value of this shift for employees, customers, and stakeholders alike.
The momentum is undeniable—14% of all U.S. fleets have already integrated at least one EV into their fleet, and 87% of fleet managers anticipate transitioning to electric vehicles within the next five years.
Smart Charging and Renewable Energy Integration
While the future of electrification is limitless, eMobility is only possible with a resilient and intelligent energy infrastructure.
Powering an EV involves more than just plugging in, and smart charging technology ensures efficient power delivery by automatically adjusting energy flow between the EV and EV charger to protect battery health and optimize charging speed.
These chargers are only one of the many components making up an increasingly smart energy infrastructure, as this technology is part of a broader shift toward smart energy management, where renewable sources—such as solar and wind—play an increasing role in powering transportation.
In 2024, renewables accounted for the majority of new additions in energy capacity added to the grid, highlighting their growing influence in eMobility.
Utilities are also innovating to support electrification by actively increasing their capacity to produce clean energy and adopting innovative strategies for preventing grid strain, such as implementing demand response programs and time-of-use (TOU) billing to incentivize off-peak charging when demand is lower.
Additionally, vehicle-to-grid charging (V2G) offers another layer of flexibility, enabling EV owners to send surplus energy back to the grid, enhancing grid resilience and offering new economic benefits for EV owners through net metering.
Overcoming Challenges in Adopting eMobility Solutions
Electric transportation is a major change and it’s not unusual for consumers and fleet managers to worry about the challenges of transitioning to an EV.
From the upfront cost of EVs, range issues, or access to charging, these common concerns are easily resolved:
Upfront Costs
While EVs tend to cost more at the time of purchase, long-term fuel and maintenance savings often offset these costs with owners saving thousands on fuel over the years. Additionally, federal and state incentives help reduce financial barriers and lower the initial purchasing price.
Range Anxiety
While range anxiety was a legitimate concern in the past, advances in battery technology mean new generations of EVs now deliver ranges of approximately 300 miles per charge—sufficient for most drivers and fleet operations.
Charging Accessibility
Planning ahead is key when it comes to charging on the road, but the expansion of public charging networks, combined with at-home and workplace charging solutions, ensures reliable and convenient access to power.
